I have this design which you could call a lab head or perhaps just a generic pewter dog post earring. These are a nice size, just a hint of silvery color which is the natural state of the pewter.
Since I was a kid playing with miniature chickens and farm animals on my bed I’ve had a thing for small items, especially animals. If something is cunningly made and quite small it’s irresistible to me. I work about as small as is possible for me physically. I don’t have tiny hands. I’m not sure that makes much difference, but sometimes I get frustrated and would love to decrease the size of my work even more. Of course there is something to be said for being able to actually see the detail in the piece.
My work is like play to me. If the day’s project is creating new designs to be cast in one of the three metals I work in, I am a happy person. How could anyone creative be otherwise? I think most folks who are disenchanted with life should think about learning a new skill they could eventually excel in. I personally believe that would be a great alternative to the use of psychotropic drugs.
